Great Planes ® AccuPoint ™ Laser
Incidence Meter
( GPMR4020)
• Measures incidence, washout and engine
thrust angle with 1/4 degree accuracy!
If picture-perfect performance from your plane is a
must, Great Planes' AccuPoint Laser Incidence
Meter is an essential tool when you build. It's a
perfect way for kit builders to see if kit incidence
matches plan incidence, and a fast, easy aid for
scratch builders as well. In either case, accurate
incidence is the goal- and that's where the Laser
Incidence Meter (literally!) shines. A low-energy
laser, powered by the included battery, provides the
incredible accuracy, and adjusting the angle of the
laser sight does away with the need to level the
entire plane. Just clamp it in place, turn it on, take
readings and make adjustments as needed. It's a
slick way to prevent warped wings and bad wing-to-
tail alignment--and useful for setting accurate engine
thrust angles and heli pitch, too. Included 20” bar fits
wing chords up to 16". 1-year warranty. Available
separately: an extra-long 36” Bar for big wings.
Great Planes ® C.G. Machine ™
Airplane Balancer
( GPMR2400)
Pat. D399,220
• Brings out your plane’s best performance!
Give your basic trainer maximum stability...make
your low-wing aerobats more agile...help your pylon
planes fly faster than ever. How? Balance them with
optimum accuracy, using the ingenious and easy-to
use Great Planes C.G. Machine! It works without the
measuring, marking and error-prone finger
gymnastics that balancing by hand requires. And it
can be used with kits or almost ready-to-fly planes of
any size and any wingspan. Slanted wire balancing
posts accept any plane up to 40 lb...built-in rulers
position the model exactly at the center of gravity
recommended in the model’s instruction manual.
There’s no guesswork...in fact, the C.G. Machine is
so easy to use that even first-time pilots will achieve
accurate results.
Great Planes ® Cordless Slot
Machine ™ Motorized Hinge
Slotting Tool
( GPMR4011)
• The ultimate in slot cutting convenience
and ease!
Now Great Planes adds cordless convenience to the
Slot Machine's many advantages! Charge up the
maintenance-free NiCds built into the case, and you
have enough "juice" to cut 60 slots (for 30
hinges)...about the same number you'll find in an
average kit. Recharging is easy with the included AC
wall charger, and takes only about 3 hours. In the
meantime, you can be installing hinges into the
clean, accurate slots the Slot Machine is known for.
And like the original, it arrives fully assembled, with
two replaceable blades...all you have to do is place
the blades against the wood, hit the "ON" switch and
let Slot Machine do the work.
